Tequila Ocho Plata Review
Inhaling the aromas of Tequila Ocho’s stunning Plata expression recalls all of the best characteristics of a properly made and nuanced Margarita: it’s briny and vegetal; vibrant green vegetables and citrus fruit come to the fore on the nose; and there’s a mineral, umami complexity that also signals thoughtful production and quality ingredients on the palate. This may not be ideally priced for well drinks at bars, but home bartenders can pick it up for cocktails — and your cocktail game will be infinitely improved by doing so.
Tequila Ocho Plata Pros And Cons
Pros
- Highly expressive tequila that’s full of character
- Suitable for sipping even though it’s a blanco tequila
- Great value for money, relative to the category
Cons
- Not as widely available as other tequila brands because of its labor-intensive production
- Some may find it slightly expensive for cocktails
